Northern Governors Forum condemns the murder of can chairman by terrorists in Adamawa State
The Northern
Governors Forum has condemned the alleged gruesome murder of Reverend
Lawan Andimi, who was the Local Council Chapter Chairman of the Christian
Association of Nigeria (CAN) and also a pastor with the Church of the Brethren
(EYN) at the District Church Council of Michika Adamawa State by terrorist
group.
In a
statement by Dr Makut Macha the Director of Press Affairs to the Chairman of
the Northern Governors Forum and Plateau State Governor Simon Bako Lalong
described the act as yet another sad tale of the inhuman activities of the
terrorist group which is bent on unleashing sorrow in the hearts of Nigerians.
While
commiserating with the family of the late clergyman, the Church and people of
Adamawa State, Lalong urged them not to allow the ugly incident affect their
faith in God and love for humanity as the death of the late Clergyman cannot be
a catalyst for hatred among Nigerians who are disgusted by the cruelty of the
terrorist organisation.
He said the
Northern Governors Forum remains United in their support for security agencies
to continue to rise up to not only terrorist groups, but all forms of
criminality that seek to divide the country along ethnic, religious or
political lines.
Governor
Lalong emphasized that the Northern Governors Forum stands shoulder to shoulder
with the President Muhammadu Buhari as
he rallies the world towards defeating terror groups and their sponsors as well
as the purveyors of their bizarre ideology which propagates sorrow, hatred and
pain on innocent persons in the name of religion and others claims.
